Does eating pre-cut fruit reduce its nutritional value?
VnExpress•03/10/2023Reply:
Fruits are a source of many vitamins and minerals for the body. However, you shouldn't peel fruit in advance and store it in the refrigerator. If not eaten immediately, it can easily lead to bacterial contamination, faster oxidation, reduced nutrients, and loss of flavor. Some substances like Vitamin C and folate in fruit are gradually lost due to the effects of light, temperature, and air. Furthermore, peeling the fruit beforehand accelerates this process. Therefore, once fruit is cut, it should be eaten immediately to receive the highest nutritional value.
